Our Lord Jesus Christ

Image
a sermon from Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones including the main messianic prophecies You will recall that last Friday evening, in finishing our consideration of the doctrine of the covenant, the Great Covenant of Grace, we ended by emphasizing the fact that the covenant in both its expressions or in both its dispensations always points to the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. And therefore, we have come to our consideration of this great biblical doctrine of or concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. Now, while this is obviously and clearly not the starting point of biblical doctrine, it is certainly the core and the centre of biblical doctrine [the differentia of Christianity] ... We start with the great doctrine of God and how God has revealed himself and men and his need and so on.

I often meet and talk with people from different religious backgrounds. I found astonishingly large number of situations where various misconceptions about holiness and "being saint" were proclaimed. These misconceptions take many different forms, but they are almost always linked to a type of “humility” that is detached from reality and superficial, as well as to a view that one has no value as a person. People simply cannot be free from the "Roman Catholic" misconception that holiness is a human characteristic or quality of the human moral. Let me clarify that last sentence right away. According to Catholic teaching, holiness is not merely a human quality or moral trait, but primarily an essential attribute of God in which human beings share. Human moral perfection can only be called “holiness” in a secondary and derivative sense. Human holiness is indeed, in a moral sense, a quality of a person, but only as the fruit of God’s grace: “moral perfec...
